Hi List, Last week I was out photographing a cemetery on Fairgrounds Road just southwest of Stayner called East Nottawasaga, when I got home and started working on the photos I got this strange image of possibly a child and a halo above its head. Now you've probably thinked I've finally gone bonkers and am now ready for the funny farm, I went back today and checked out the stone and it is as clean as a whistle. So you be the judge. What is it. Check it out at the special page below. http://www.waynecook.com/ANGEL.html Cheers Wayne Cook http://www.waynecook.com (A History Television Approved Site) Host for the Simcoe County Genweb site at http://www.waynecook.com/simcoe.shtml Ontario, Canada Host for the Parry Sound Muskoka Genweb site at http://www.waynecook.com/parrysound.html 1.

Gagn�. A groundbreaking biographical dictionary of the nearly 800 women and girls sent from France to populate Quebec between 1663 and 1673.

The re-building of Main Street after the 1921 fire and after the 1973 toronado illustrates Brightonian determination to move forward.
